Cinderella stories do exist…Luke Shepardson wins the prestigious Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational. Shepardson, a Honolulu lifeguard surfing during his break from work, defeats the worlds best big wave riders in one of the largest Eddie contests ever held. For those that don’t know the back story, Eddie Aikau was the first Hawaiian lifeguard on Oahu’s north shore, who was lost a sea trying to paddle for help when the Hokulea voyaging canoe overturned in heavy seas. Shepardson keeps the life guarding tradition alive! Congratulations!!!
